DMC5 doesn’t have to be the same tropes, if Capcom out in some effort story-wise. and Sparda really didn’t leave a mess. someone else kept opening the box. DMC4 wasnt necessarily Trishs mess, she was a catalyst.

DMC spawned an new genre, and managed sold 3 mil because it was a great game and was one of a kind. DMC2 damn near killed the series because Capcom wanted to puke out a money maker and lost a lot of the fanbase and killed faith in the series. DMC3 revived the series and pushed the envelope for the series and the genre, and it shows because regardless of its lower sales fans came back for DMC4 2 mil+ strong. and that’s not counting the few who backed out because Dante wasn’t the main character.

Dante isn't dead. Nowhere near it. The old fans love Dante and it shows because MVC3/UMVC3, Prolect X Zone, Monster Hunter Frontier G and Sengoku Basara 4. Capcom are just dickheads. they are killing Dante just like they did Mega Man. all they really need to do is cut back on some of the cheeseyness, put some more effort to the story, and make another great game to push the boundaries of the series and genre. But like i said they are dickheads and are more interested in whoring out their games and pushing their DLC scams to put any real effort in. they are also pissing off their talent so they are leaving. So in short Capcom is too lazy and stupid to make a real DMC game, be it DMC2 Remake or DMC5
